Hay muchas razones por las que Zoom ha flotado a la cima de la pila de videoconferencias, entre otras cosas porque en su forma básica es de uso gratuito, aunque Google Meet podría ofrecer una alternativa que también es gratuita.
Los juegos que te vamos a proponer en este post podrán ser jugados a través de una llamada de video ya sea con otro usuario o bien una conferencia en grupo. Hay muchos juegos emocionantes que puedes jugar. Sin embargo, cabe destacar que se puede jugar a cualquiera de los juegos aquí mostrados, en cualquier momento.
Dicho esto a continuación les queremos mostrar una lista de juegos y actividades que podemos llevar a cabo en las videollamadas realizadas en Facetime, Google Dúo, WhatsApp, Zoom, Skype, etc. ya sean individuales o grupales:
Charadas
Un juego de salón clásico, realmente puede aprovechar la videoconferencia para hacer que Charades funcione. Necesitará tener un poco de espacio de rendimiento, y mucha luz para que el video no sea demasiado granulado, pero al usar algo como ungenerador de Charadesen su teléfono, puede hacer que el artista tenga una idea y actúe fácilmente. fuera para que el resto de su equipo adivine. ¡Los que están en la videollamada pueden mirar, controlar el tiempo y asegurarse de que no haya trampas! Si ambos tienen un juego de cartas de Charadas en casa, aún mejor. Es un juego ideal para unir dos mitades de una familia separada, y es genial para que los niños se involucren.
Pictionary
Otro juego simple que funciona muy bien a través de Zoom, que tiene una función de pizarra incorporada. Para acceder a esto, simplemente inicie Zoom y presione el botón de compartir pantalla y verá la opción para la pizarra. Hay muchas funciones allí y tendrás que decidir exactamente qué puedes usar (no solo escribirlo …), pero hay margen para divertirte un poco más mientras dibujas tu respuesta. Puede dibujar para que todos adivinen o trabajar en equipos a ambos lados en diferentes hogares. Es muy divertido para niños y adultos por igual y puede usar tarjetas de un conjunto Pictionary en casa o usar ungenerador de palabras en líneaen su teléfono.
Búsqueda de tesoros
Si realmente quieres entusiasmar a los niños, entonces las búsquedas del tesoro funcionan muy bien. Necesitará un grupo grande, o muchos niños en varias casas diferentes, y una persona como anfitrión. El anfitrión simplemente grita lo que necesita encontrar, enviando a los niños corriendo por la casa para obtener lo que se les ha pedido: una cuchara, algo rosa, su edredón. Es mejor que los padres se mantengan fuera del camino, solo deje que la abuela llame los tesoros que los nietos necesitan encontrar.
¡Articular!
¡Otro divertido juego de mesa familiar, Articulate! ve jugadores describiendo palabras para que otros adivinen. Por supuesto, no puedes decir cuál es la palabra, necesitas usar tu idioma. Esto funciona bien cuando tienes muchas personas en diferentes lugares, con el anfitrión o el maestro del juego capaz de enviar las palabras a través de un mensaje directo en Zoom (usando la función de Chat) si las personas están en diferentes casas, o si tienes grupos de personas en el mismo lugar, a través de sus teléfonos. Realmente se trata solo de involucrar a todos.
Ajedrez
Para algo un poco más tranquilo, el ajedrez es un juego fácil de jugar sobre Zoom. Por supuesto, ya pueden jugar al ajedrez en línea, o mediante cualquier forma de mensaje, pero sentarse para pasar un rato hablando con un ser querido lejano, ambos con un tablero de ajedrez, los acercará más. Solo recuerda mover las piezas en ambos tableros para que sepas lo que está pasando. Lo mejor de todo es que puedes jugar durante varios días, solo deja la configuración del tablero con todas esas piezas en su lugar. Eso al menos te da tiempo para planificar tu estrategia ganadora.
Buque de guerra
Es interactivo, es divertido y es (casi) fácil para todas las edades. Solo asegúrate de que ambos tengan unacuadrícula impresapara que sepas lo que estás disparando, luego simplemente lee la referencia del cuadrado que deseas golpear y márquelo. ¡El mejor consejo aquí es hacer un seguimiento de dónde disparaste al enemigo para que no termines golpeando la misma casilla más de una vez!
Monopolio
Probablemente el juego de mesa más popular, casi todos tienen Monopoly. Al igual que el ajedrez anterior, todo lo que tiene que hacer es configurarlo, hacer un espacio para la computadora para que sea una experiencia compartida y jugar. Claro, necesitará dos banqueros, uno en cada habitación, que también deberán asegurarse de que no haya personas en ambos equipos tratando de comprar Mayfair, y asegurarse de que estas transacciones remotas entre jugadores funcionen. También necesitarás moverte por el tablero en ambos lugares y apagar esas casas a medida que se construyan. Sí, algunas de las Chance Cards y Community Chest Cards se duplicarán, y algunas partes del juego no funcionarán, pero ¿a quién le importa?
El cuestionario clásico
Hemos escrito mucho sobre cómoorganizar un cuestionario en Zoom, pero es un uso perfecto de lo que originalmente era una herramienta de negocios. Poder compartir una presentación desde su computadora, incluida la música, significa que básicamente puede ejecutar un cuestionario con mucha facilidad, con la ventaja de poder llegar a muchas personas al mismo tiempo. Es genial para 15-20 personas en diferentes equipos involucrarse, ¡así que no tengas miedo de pensar en grande!
¿Qué soy yo?
Este es un juego muy popular, totalmente gratuito y disponible tanto para dispositivos Android como iPhone. El juego consiste en adivinar acciones, famosos o palabras mientras el resto de participantes te ayudan con gestos.
Todos los participantes deben descargar el juego en su teléfono móvil. Por turnos, cada jugador deberás seleccionar una tarjeta en su teléfono y colocarlo en la frente de tal manera que tu no puedas verlo, pero que otros usuarios de la videollamadas si puedan verlo.
El resto de participantes te ayudarán mediante mímica para que tú puedas adivinar lo que está escrito en la pantalla de tu teléfono. Cabe destacar que tendrás un tiempo limitado en el que debes adivinar tu tarjeta.
- App para Android: ¿Qué soy? mímicas con amigos y familiares
- App para iOS: ¿Qué soy yo? ~ El mejor juego para fiestas
Houseparty
Es actualmente la aplicación más descargada en el App Store aunque también está disponible para Android, Mac o Google Chrome. Esta app o programa es en si una plataforma de videollamadas. Sin embargo esta plataforma incorpora los juegos de manera predeterminada por lo que no tendrás que descárgalos de manera separada.
Los juegos a los que podrás jugar a través de Houseparty son:
- Quien es quien: Aparecerá un cartel en la frente de cada jugador con una palabra para adivinarla.
- Chips and Guac: Se trata de un juego de cartas de asociación de palabras
- Pictionary: Dibuja en la pantalla y el resto de participantes tendrán que adivinar lo que dibujas.
- Trivial: Tal y como su nombre indica es el juego popular de preguntas al que todo hemos jugado al menos una vez.
- Houseparty para Android
- Houseparty para iPhone
- Houseparty para Chrome
- Houseparty para Mac
Parchis Star
Este juego que está causando furor entre los usuarios durante el confinamiento se trata del clásico parchís pero jugado de manera online. Es totalmente gratuito y está disponible para dispositivos Android o iPhone.
Parchis Star te permite jugar partidas con amigos los cuales previamente deberán ser añadidos como tales a tu cuenta de usuario. El número máximo de jugadores es de 4 y todos ellos deberán contar con la app y jugar de forma “privada” mientras conversas sus jugadas a través de la videollamadas ya que el tablero estará visible para todos en tiempo real.
Piedra papel y tijeras
Uno de los juegos que podremos usar para divertirnos durante las videollamadas puede ser el popular: Piedra, Papel y Tijeras. Este juego cuenta con la ventaja de que no tendrás que instalar aplicación o programa alguno. Sin embargo, el juego Piedra, Papel y Tijeras pude convertirse en algo monótono y aburrido tras varias rondas del mismo.
Leer los labios
Un juego con el que amenizar y divertirnos en nuestras video-conferencias grupales o individuales a través de Facetime, Google Dúo, WhatsApp, Zoom, Skype o cualquier otro, es la lectura de labios.
Este juego se puede jugar por turnos en el que uno de los usuarios tienes que mover los labios como si dijera una frase pero sin voz. El resto del grupo tendrá que adivinar aquello que tus labios pretenden decir. El jugador que acierte se añadirá un punto.
Batalla de Karaoke
Canta con sus amigos a través de una videollamada para hacerla más amena. En la actualidad existen apps de Karaoke o incluso Youtbe cuenta con videos de Karaoke.
La mecánica de este juego es realmente sencilla y se necesitará al menos 3 jugadores. Uno de los jugadores procede a cantar un canción deseada, a poder ser una canción conocidas por todos los participantes. El resto de los jugadores deberán puntuar la actuación. Esto deberá repetirse por el resto de jugadores.
Al final de todas las actuaciones deberemos comparar todas las puntuaciones y saber quién es el ganador.
Practicar deporte en grupo
El deporte es algo que además de mantenernos en forma también no ayuda a mantener un equibrio mental sobre todo durante el confinamiento. Afortunadamente en la actualidad existe muchos entrenadores personales que ofrecen clases y sesiones fitness de manera gratuita y online. Estas clases pueden ser visualizadas en directo pero esto no quita para que además de se practiquen de manera grupal con tus amigos y familiares en tiempo real a través de una videoconferencia.
Aquí tendremos 2 opciones, bien conectarnos todos a la clase en directo y tomar parte en ella a la vez que realizamos la video llamada, o bien uno de los participantes de la videollamada se conecta a la clase y comparte su pantalla con el resto de participantes usando el programa de videollamada.
El problema es que muchas de estas clases se realizan desde Instagram la cual solo permite la visualización de videos en directo desde el dispositivo móvil por lo que no podrás compartir la pantalla en tu ordenador de manera predeterminada. No obstante gracias al siguiente tutorial podrás ver las clases de Fitness de Instagram desde tu ordenador:Como ver los videos en directo y IGTV de Instagram en tu PC
